Answering Our Hearts’ Collective Call to Connect
We are living in a time of unprecedented challenges and uncertainty, with many facing loneliness, stress and overwhelm. Learning to work at home with kids is a strain for some, while trying to counteract the isolation of working and living alone is a struggle for others. With massive changes in remote work, world health, global peace, online shopping, and AI and machine learning, we are worried about our economic security and the safety of vulnerable family and friends. Having and sharing hope is more important than ever as we question our value and search for greater purpose.
In addressing “our epidemic of loneliness and isolation” U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy stated during an interview with NPR's All Things Considered that "...you can feel lonely even if you have a lot of people around you, because loneliness is about the quality of your connections." Humans are wired for social connection, and we all have a role to play in fostering it.
Building Togetherness™ explores what “being together” means in today’s world and how we can co-create different and fulfilling ways to connect, work and live together to experience greater harmony, balance and Heart Equity™ both personally and collectively.
Building Togetherness Breaks Down the Walls of Isolation and Creates Community
Every month we will gather online to:
Create new and meaningful connections with others who are going through similar experiences.
Experience safe and authentic conversations and interactions with others.
Discuss practical tips and strategies for building and strengthening human connection even while “remote” or isolated.
Open our hearts and rediscover hope which empowers a cultural shift based on love, community and caring.
The Building Togetherness Gathering is designed to help us reflect on questions such as:
How can we strengthen human connections at work and beyond while being physically distant?
How can we care for each other in the face of fear?
How can we embody and live out our values every moment as leaders and team members?
What Is the Experience of a Gathering?
Let’s start with what it’s not. The Building Togetherness Gathering is not a training, meeting, workshop, or webinar. It is also not a linear, expert-focused, individualistic, content-heavy, or results-driven experience. It is something very different.
Instead, this Gathering is an invitation for curiosity, exploration and self-discovery within a safe and respectful space. It is an experience that is more circular, relationship focused, collective, and process driven. Join us in exploring and practicing what authentic Togetherness feels like.
I look forward to connecting with you soon! Please email me with any questions.
